You can walk on water but you don’t know what it means
To be in my bones, to be in my bloodstream.
I started to whisper. You stared right back at me.
And in silence I found I don’t know who I believe.

What if what you can’t, you really can?
Every now and then, would you call again?
I never wanted it all. I just wanted to pretend
That I was awake and that you were listening.
Were you listening to me?

My hands still shake but it’s only in my head.
From the side of the stage I wish you broken legs.
When I’m laying in bed and the Devil’s in my dreams,
Will you take my hand? Will you sit beside me?

What if what you can’t, you really can?
Every now and then, would you call again?
I never wanted it all. I just wanted to pretend
That I was awake and you were always listening.
Were you listening to me? Were you listening?
Were you listening to me?
